Minor League Minutes: 6/20/19

Shane Emery / June 20, 2019

Ryan takes a look at the Royals speed coming down the pike.

” First off, there is absolutely no reason to expect Mondesi to go anywhere by 2021. There have been well-founded concerns about his staying power since he became a full time player last season, but at this point he has established his ability to be a top-tier shortstop despite these concerns. A good comparison for Mondesi is Javier Baez, and it’s pretty reasonable to expect that type of production from Mondesi; he’s similarly dynamic and athletic, has pop in his bat, is a gifted defensive middle infielder, and has even more speed than Baez. “

Doc has a Prospect Watch for Lexington Center Fielder Michael Gigliotti.

“.309 BA, 42 runs scored, 73 hits, 19 doubles, 23 RBI, 29 of 36 SB opps. (52 games)”

Gabe Cancel now has 18 doubles and 13 HR. He’s pacing for 40 doubles and 29 HR in the Texas League.

Luis Jimenez was the last player to hit 40 doubles in the Texas League, back in 2011. He hit 18 HR.

Last player to do anything like Cancel’s pace: Clint Robinson. https://t.co/4kq9mVjwPR

@RoyalsFarm Viloria just appeared to have a hamstring injury stretching for a double. Limped slowly off the field. Perhaps MJ or Rivero gets an opportunity to play AA for a while?
